“Diana was a great sitter for my cat Ellie! She was reliable, caring, and communicative. Ellie was happy and well cared for. Will book again with her in the future 😊”
“Alexa was great and made my first Rover experience comfortable. We did a meet and greet. She asked questions about my cats and expectations which made me feel at ease with her experience as a pet sitter. I loved the updates and the pictures.”
About: I've had many pets in my life, I've raised 3 dogs and have two cats. I've given basic training to my cats and given senior care to many a dog. I'm in school virtually so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule and am open to traveling for services. Owning cats also allows me to be free in case of emergencies (they are really understanding). My railroad style apartment was decorated with two frisky kittens in mind so my place is pretty tamper proof. It's easy to isolate them from the rest of the space when (or if) introducing guests and easy to navigate for them with adequate space for play/sleep/snacking or whatever their little hearts desire.
“Christine was fantastic taking care of Minino while we were away! She came by daily to feed him and always sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, attentive cat sitter.”
“It’s my first time using the app, Bryndon was great! My situation is a little unusual but he was so conscientious and paid attention to the details and did such a great job. I would definitely recommend Bryndon and will absolutely reach out for future sitting!”
“Amazing. Amanda went above and beyond taking care of our grumpy old lady and rambunctious kitten! She followed all of my ridiculous instructions and sent lots of photos and video. I can tell that she loves animals and cares for them as if they are her own. Great communication too. We will def be requesting to book again! Thank you so much!”
“Alexandra stayed at my home over a weekend to watch my two cats. She was very kind even during hiccups I caused and was very communicative during her stay. When I returned home, everything was clean and in order and my cats were happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Alexandra to care for your fur babies.”
“Anna was great with my Pookie! She sent updates daily and made sure my kitty was comfortable and got her daily feedings. I would highly recommend and will be booking with her again the future. Pookie was very happy with her stay!”
“Sara has been so wonderful to work with! I am always so anxious leaving my cat but Sara takes great care of her. She consistently sends pictures, is on time, and quickly answers texts. I look forward to booking her more in the future. Definitely recommend!”
“Last week was the first time I had Andrew watch my two boys and boy am I happy that I picked him…and so are the boys! Andrew did a wonder job! He spent extra time with my cats and sent detailed updates with pics every day. He made me very secure in the knowledge that my boys were being well cared for. I look forward to having Andrew take care of my boys in the future!”
“Jinghong was seriously the best! 🥹❤️ She took such amazing care of Ara and Maru, and I could tell right away that she genuinely cared about them. I loved getting daily videos and updates—it really gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even kept me updated on their litter box habits and poop, which I really appreciated because it showed how attentive she was to every little detail. 😂🐱 Ara and Maru looked so happy and comfortable with her, and that means everything to me. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my babies! 100% recommend Jinghong, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾💕”
“David was amazing! He is super attentive and checks in with photos at every visit! He made sure my diabetic cat got his insulin and meals on time and even spent extra time playing and spending time with him! Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -”
“Janeth was awesome with our cat Petunia! From the very first communication, she was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet. She was flexible as we finalized the dates of our trip and she sent pictures from every drop in visit. I can tell Petunia was well cared for and I won't hesitate to book with Janeth again the next time we go away. Thanks again!”
About: Though it's been some time, I gained hands-on experience caring for my grandmother’s Golden Retriever when I was younger (ages 6-12). I handled everything from feeding and playtime to washing and general care. This early experience taught me responsibility and a deep understanding of dogs' needs. My background in caregiving and fitness also adds to my ability to provide attentive, active care, ensuring every dog feels loved and well-cared-for. As a second-year Physical Therapy student at the University of Washington, I'm currently on break with no classes, giving me ample time to dedicate to pet care. This break allows me to be flexible and fully available to assist with your dog care needs, ensuring your pet gets the attention and care they deserve! While I don't currently have a pet myself, my experience as a personal trainer and future Physical Therapist has taught me the importance of care, attention, and empathy. Just as I prioritize the well-being of my clients, I bring that same level of dedication to caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure that each dog receives personalized care, tailored to their unique needs, much like I do with my human clients.

Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!
Christine was fantastic taking care of Minino while we were away! She came by daily to feed him and always sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, attentive cat sitter.
Sara is a supreme cat sitter and you can trust her with your pets. She was flexible when we had a family emergency and is always reliable to make sure my kitties are well. Even my shy kitty who doesn’t like most people will excitedly greet her. Highly recommended and we will be booking her again and again!
This is our first time using Rover and we felt so lucky that we found Karen. Karen takes care of our pets not only with full of experience and patience, but also with love and sentiment. She’s always so considerate, thoughtful and responsive and she gets along with both of our pets so well just after a couple of visits. We trust her 100% with our pets and will definitely rebook with her next time we are out of town. I highly recommend Karen.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
